Marquez undergoes successful surgery on left shoulder

After a fruitful end of season test in Jerez, reigning MotoGP World Champion Marc Marquez underwent surgery at the Hospital Universitari Dexeus today, 4 December. The complex operation was performed by Dr. Xavier Mir, Dr. Victor Marlet and Dr. Teresa Marlet, all members of ICATME (the Catalan Institute of Traumatology and Sports Medicine), in order to resolve the recurring dislocation in the Repsol Honda Team rider’s left shoulder, an issue which had persisted throughout the year.

Marquez will be discharged within the next 48 hours depending on his recovery. Next week he will begin a six-week rehabilitation program in his home town, Cervera, to recover from the operation. He will then commence his winter training in preparation for the Sepang Test in February.
